TitleDiagram, 'Temperature chart of rabbits A, B, and C' by E H [Ernest Hanbury] Hankin
CreatorHankin; Ernest Hanbury (1865-1939); British bacteriologist
Date1890
DescriptionA temperature chart recording observations made during the course of Hankin's experiment on the effects of injections of cell globulin into rabbits before or after anthrax infection in modifying the course of the disease. Hankin explains in the accompanying paper that the diagram 'shows the temperature chart of three rabbits, of which two (A and B) received a succession of doses of cell globulin. The three rabbits were very young, and did not weigh more than 400 grams each; C was the control, and died in thirty-six hours.'

Subject: Physiology / Bacteriology

A print of this diagram was published in volume 48 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society alongside the paper 'A bacteria-killing globulin'.
